WASHINGTON (AP) - Flood damage at IRS headquarters will take six months to completely
repair, the tax agency said Tuesday.

Flooding that hit parts of the Northeast in June submerged the Internal Revenue Service's
lower levels and ruined the building's heating, air conditioning and electrical systems.

The General Services Administration, which manages federal buildings, estimated it will take
the rest of the year to manufacture and install replacements.

The damage occurred as rainwater built up around the building and broke through the windows.
Water also rose from beneath the building into its subbasement, which eventually filled with
20 feet of water.
